The Reflex (Duran Duran, 1984)

Reflex-o-scope Ragga-Latin Ska Duran Duran version

This time we are taking to Jamaica one of the biggest hits of Duran Duran, which was the first of the two of theirs charting to no. 1 in the US in May 1984. A strong taste of caribbean impregnates the whole arrangement, and proves one more time that every single pop song can be “skatalized” and become an irresistible call for some serious swinging.
